anyway. he sounds gravely worried. but he's got a set of viewpoint and he's going to keep pushing it and the people of chicago will have to deal with it. >> bill: a lot of people think he's not been nearly as responsive as expected given the amount of shootings that have happened there. we'll see whether or not that continues with a new mayor in chicago. >> dana: former president trump drawing a straight line between his multiple indictments and his presidential campaign. he says all the legal action targeting him is only boosting his bid to return to the white house for another term in office. welcome to a brand new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. good morning! >> bill: hope you had a good weekend. >> dana: great, you? >> bill: absolutely. bill hemmer, good morning. former president pointing to the latest polls showing him neck in neck with joe biden saying it's only energizing his supporters. trump wearing the charges against him as a badge of honor saying anymore will actually

seal the deal for the nomination. >> any time they file an indictment, we go up in the polls. we need one more indictment to close out this election, one more indictment and this election is closed out. nobody has even a chance. >> bill: correspondent in washington is mike emanuel and has more in d.c. now. good morning. >> good morning. former president trump did not stop talking about the latest indictment all weekend. >> fake charges put forth by the biden sham. we call it a sham indictment, and the man that is doing it. i really believe he's mentally ill. but this is outrageous and it is an outrageous criminalization of political speech. they're trying to make it illegal to question the results of an election. >> his former vice president mike pence said he would testify against mr. trump if asked. pence insists he honor his oath of office including on january 6th while jabbing at his former

boss. >> anyone who puts themselves over the constitution should never be president of the united states. i mean, our constitution is more important than any one man. our country is more important than any one man's career. >> others suggest if the former president is the g.o.p. nominee, he will make it all about himself. >> donald trump is the nominee, he'll be talking about donald trump rather than joe biden. and what we should be focused on is talking about joe biden and his record. >> a former congressman running for president suggests the american people desperately want a reset for both parties. >> 2/3 of americans do not want donald trump or joe biden on the ballot like that is clear and that has always been the case. >> while 2020 was in many ways a zoom campaign during the pandemic, for the former president, 2024 could be a campaign from various courthouses unless his attorneys are successful in holding off trials until after the election.

bill? >> bill: thanks. a lot on the line. mike emanuel in washington. thank you. >> dana: here's a question. should president trump's legal proceedings be must see tv? some democrats are now pushing for his federal trials to be televised. letting voters see for themselves what exactly is at stake. fox news contributor and assistant editor of "the wall street journal" editorial page. let me pull up number one quickly. this is the democrats' letter saying this is the historic nature of the charges. it is hard to imagine a more powerful circumstance of televised proceedings. if the public is to fully accept the outcome, it will be vitally important for it to witness as directly as possible how the trials are conducted. the strength of the evidence. and the credibility of witnesses. so what did you think will happen here? >> i think this is a case of be careful what you wish for for these democrats. many of whom are calling for this are the people who were part of the january 6th committee. that was kind of infamous for being a partisan committee. it didn't allow really

cross-examination of witnesses. you get into a courtroom, both sides are represented unlike the essentially the show trials that they put on in congress. i think the president and his lawyers are going to go a long way showing that these are unprecedented politicalizations and criminalizations of free speech and i think he'll show the hypocrisy whether it is on documents or lying to the public about election results. he's going to be able to show democrat offenses that were not prosecuted. >> bill: here's what "the journal" says today. democrats want a trump-o.j. simpson trial. that's precisely what democrats want, a long running o.j. simpson trial that -- style trial, he said, that consumes public and political attention he is sp especially if it takes place before election day. i imagine if you put a camera in that courtroom, i'm not saying it's going to happen. never has. that would be mandatory watching on behalf of millions and

millions of americans. >> traditionally, the thought is it's a distraction for people in court, that it may inflame public passions outside, video can be taken out of context. of course, this can happen in print journalism, too. but i do think that the fact that both sides will be represented unlike has often happened is probably going to play to his strengths, and you have a strange situation for a while here where democrats want donald trump to be their opponent and obviously, donald trump wants to be the opponent. so they may come together with the view that, yeah, let's televise it and make him the center even more of the 2024 cycle. >> dana: john mauro was on "fox news sunday", he's president trump's lawyer. they want it, too. see it here. >> i'm convinced the biden administration does not want the american people to see the truth. they acted on it by filing this protective order. i'm shocked actually that all the networks haven't lined up

and filed pleadings already objecting to this. the american people have a right to know, of course, joe biden doesn't want that to happen. >> dana: there's that. that debate will play out and president trump's team has to respond to this request for protective order by 5:00 p.m. today. while we have you, "the new york times" is reporting the hispanic support for joe biden is slipping. so here, if you look here for choice for president, this is hispanic voters. in october of 2022, hispanic voters were with biden 52%. in july, just last month, it was dropped to 41% and trump had gone from 33% and up to 38%. and now, you see democrats trying to sound the alarm that they are having a problem especially with working class non-white voters. what do they do? >> i think they have to get back to kitchen table issues. we'll get another inflation report this week. i think that's one of the key issues still. the concerns there are public

safety, economics, opportunity, just like for all groups of voters. and i think when the democrats have embraced the racial obsessions of the progressive left, also a lot of people in our industry, they can give you the impression that reparations, defunding the police, that these are wildly popular in the african-american community. they're not. they're not. so that's given republicans -- >> bill: i would argue the same side of the coin, hispanics here legally, registered to vote look at illegal immigration and say that's not the way i did it. >> and it's the economics and you see on whether it's certainly in south texas, that's been a big change. people focused on both law and order and economic opportunity. and then you look at the gains republicans have made in florida and it's a lot of immigrants from leftist hellholes saying we want to go another way. >> dana: and what's interesting on how this can play into 2024 is swing states of nevada and

arizona. those are always very close states. and in this contest, both sides are going to want every single vote they can get in the electoral college and nevada and arizona can provide the edge if president trump or the republican nominee is if they make it to there and peel off the hispanic voters, they have more of a chance to win. isn't that profound? >> that was right on. >> bill: it certainly was. >> dana: can't wait to tell you more. >> bill: thank you. the tease will roll throughout the morning. >> dana: stunned you guys into silence. that was great. >> bill: thank you. negotiations continue for u.s. attorney david weiss to appear before congress. fox has learned that things might be delayed. david is in d.c. with more on this. they were saying what? end of september? what's happening now? >> that's what they want. they originally wanted david weiss to come down last month ideally but things were delayed now that hunter biden's original plea deal bill fell apart. we're told that delay has been somewhat extended. those negotiations do continue. the department of justice gave

house republicans several dates at the end of september going into early october for weiss to testify publicly. been under a lot of pressure to explain this plea deal one critic calls a sweetheart deal. a donald trump appointee to the bench gave both the government and hunter biden's lawyers 30 days from july 26th to come up with some sort of approval that the chief says would be acceptable. it's possible the president's son will enter into a plea deal that is accepted. now, attorney general merrick garland also scheduled to testify before the house judiciary committee on september 20th before david weiss does so. garland's predecessor former attorney general bill barr said on this network garland needs to do more to show his independence in this case. watch. >> these are ultimately his decisions. he has to own the decisions and i would have liked to see more coordination and more forceful engagement with the questions involving the hunter biden case. and does he think this is a fair

and just resolution given the wrongdoing there? >> at this point, garland has declined to point a special counsel in this case citing the fact that weiss was a trump appointed u.s. attorney and the judge was a trump appointed judge. we'll follow. bill? >> bill: we shall. thank you, david. ready for another week. >> dana: crazy video from texas after a fire at a paint factory there exploded into a fireball. >> bill: new effort to block biden's latest scaled back student loan bailout after the u.s. supreme court struck down a more comprehensive plan. we'll tell you what this one is all about. >> dana: and chaos in new york's union square after an influencer promised a huge giveaway. what the new york mayor is now saying is behind the riot. ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ what do we always say, son? liberty mutual customizes your car insurance...

>> dana: this was scary. a massive fire broke out at a sherwin williams paint plant in texas early this morning. witnesses say nearby buildings shook because of explosions at the facility. no injuries were immediately reported thankfully. but officials closed several roads near the plant as first responders battled the fire. unclear what caused the explosions and the fire. but we'll keep an eye on it for you. >> bill: sure will. a new robot aims at helping children develop social skills. bot is named moxie designed to be friends with kids between ages 6 and 10. it's using a.i. to do it. what's this all about, katie? >> that's right. i'm excited to show you a very tangible application of artificial intelligence today.

so this is moxie, some of the robots here, i'll introduce you to a live one in a second. what's interesting is 93% of our communications are nonverbal, facial expressions. so it's very different than what we've seen in the past. the pandemic increased our feelings of loneliness, especially amongst children, so embodied is creating something that helps kids build those social skills and deal with that feeling of isolation. i want to introduce you to moxie. moxie, listen to me. >> of course. what do you want to talk about? >> moxie, how do i make friends? >> making friends can be really fun. there are a few things you can do to make new friends. first, it's important to be kind and friendly to others. >> moxie, earmuffs. so i could have continued that conversation a little bit more and gotten some tips and tricks. i'm sure you're thinking oh, gosh, talking to a robot, what

could go wrong here? they are taking a very conservative approach to contact to make sure that moxie isn't talking to me or your child about something that you aren't comfortable with it. here's what the c.e.o. had to say about the matter. >> you could have a religious belief and you want moxie to talk about that topic to your child. which would be potentially absolutely inappropriate to do with a child that doesn't come from that same belief system. for now, moxie will give you generic answers about religion. in the future, we will be able to give option to parents so that they can tune and say, well, this topic actually is something that i would encourage. >> so that gives you the sense of what moxie is like. what i can learn from it. and it's definitely potentially the future of learning for kids. in stores, it's $799 but you can also take it out of your library

it says turnover is higher among newer teachers and researchers have found that teachers of color that tend to have less seniority are affected disproportionately by layoffs. have you experienced that or seen that in mississippi? i know you've done an amazing job turning around education in mississippi and a lot to be proud of with k through 12 education. but in order to do that, you have to have good teachers. >> yes, thank you for having me this morning. just this past weekend, i had an opportunity to speak with an educator who was just entering the profession. and some of the concerns from that educator was will she remain in the classroom? so we are seeing that many of our educators are not entering into the profession and we also have educator who's are leaving. >> dana: how do you incentivize or what did you say to her? did you convince her to try to stay? >> yes, as a second grade teacher i always give these calls around the start of school. a lot of anxiety from many of

our school districts in the state today is our first day of school. so just trying to ease her nerves and letting her know she has colleagues she can call for support. >> what did she say were some of the reasons or what did you hear maybe not just her but others. what are the reasons they would want to leave the teaching profession? >> some of the reasons that i'm hearing low pay, the lack of respect for our profession as well as burnout. some of the educators i spoke with talked about other job opportunities with competitive salaries as well as work from home opportunities. >> dana: here's a young woman in chicago. actually, i don't know how old she is. her name is sophia gonzalez, teacher who taught 14 years in chicago. she says i'm still in the classroom because this is my version of resistance. i'm pushing back on a system that was not designed for folks that look like me and kids that look like me. we as teachers of color have to find so much inner strength inside of us to sustain our

careers in education. from a policy standpoint which i know you look at now, what can be done? is it increases in pay? it seems like the concern is actually deeper than just pay. >> yes, there's a combination of items that we look at when we want to retain our highly qualified educators in our schools. and some of that is support. not only support from our administrators in our buildings but also support from the community. as we know, more than 90% of our students here in the state of mississippi attend public schools. so having that community support means a lot. in addition, not only the community support but support from your fella colleagues in your building. >> dana: ok. >> the first year educators i'm speaking with have concerns about maintaining the classroom discipline, maintaining a supportive environment for their students. so just having people who will support them. >> dana: one of the reasons this

is so important is let's put it up for everybody to remind them. the most recent nation's report card shows for 13-year-olds in the last three years, their reading scores have gone down four points. math scores down nine points. there in mississippi, they go back to school today. and i know that you have a little one there. and you are seeing some of the changes. what do you think these numbers will look like if we don't do something about the teacher problems that we're seeing here? >> so today, i sent my third grader as well as my 10th grader out of the door for their first day of school. as a mom and parent, i'm very concerned that they have quality educators in the classroom who are helping them to meet not only their social and emotional goals but as well as their academic goals for this upcoming school year. it is so important that we have educators who really value teaching and who really will

look at our students as they have so many different backgrounds bringing into the setting. >> dana: you are a valued contributor to our show. thank you for being on and good luck to the two kids as they sent them out the door this morning. i hope you had a cup of coffee in silence. >> thank you so much. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: sweet woman. heart is always in the right place. >> dana: she's got a drive and a plan and they're executing it there in mississippi in a very good way. >> bill: school starts today. what's up with that? >> dana: they get out earlier. >> bill: ok, hot. dan hoffman over the weekend, listen. >> vladimir putin has spilled an inordinate amount of blood and treasure in ukraine. this is a way to show that russia can go toe to toe with its main enemy the united states in conjunction with their ally china. >> bill: how high should the concern about? 11 russian and chinese warships cruising close for comfort off the american shores last week. general jack keene with the

and that's where 11 chinese and russian ships have been sailing for 2300 nautical miles off the coast of alaska. and the u.s. responded with four destroyers and two airplanes of its own. this also happened last fall and the u.s. response was one u.s. coast guard ship. this time, very different. how concerning should it be? general jack keene is here to answer that. nice to see you. good morning to you. want to get your take on this. why is it happening? how much concern is there? >> certainly it's concern because it underscores the strategic relationship that's an informal political and military alliance between two nuclear superpowers. and they have one common objective. and that's to reduce united states' influence and power in the world, bill. and this is something we have not faced in terms of a formidable and dangerous threat

like it since world war ii when we were dealing with germany in europe and japan in the pacific. and what do we have here? we have russia who has already started a war in europe and we have china who is threatening a war in a pacific over taiwan. as a matter of fact, they just published an eight-part documentary which is attempt to inspire and motivate their troops to take over taiwan and to fight bravely. we didn't take the putin threat seriously in multiple administrations in terms of the potential for his four grab. look what we got because we did not effectively deter him. we have to take the china threat seriously in terms of his power grab in the pacific and underscore the importance of this relationship and don't take it lightly. >> bill: here is the senator dan sullivan out of alaska. he said the following. first, this is unprecedented, he

says, not just for alaska but for america to have 11 ships jointly being operated by the chinese and russians and increasingly working together doing freedom of navigation and navigation of operations incursions into alaska's area," back in october, you had that statement on behalf of president xi and vladimir putin about no limits in october of 2020. would you say they're in full on military cooperation, general? >> oh, yeah, absolutely. they don't have a formal military alliance like we have in nato, you know, with a stated treaty and everybody's signatories to it. this is an informal alliance. makes no mistake about it. it certainly is political. it's military. and it's also economic as we've seen how china has been helping russia out economically given the sanctions that are imposed on it. and look, some of this is reaction to the exercises that we have stepped up in the

pacific. and the freedom of navigation patrols that we're conducting through the taiwan straits and the south china sea. we're not doing it by ourselves anymore. we have our allies and partners doing it with them. and they're attempting here to demonstrate that they have freedom of the seas certainly, and also, given the challenges that are taking place in ukraine and the formidable obstacles that russia has faced with ukrainians taking back so much of their territory that they lost. this is also demonstrating, i think, their unity and want the world to understand there's power here and certainly influence here, and this is a visible demonstration of it. >> bill: one more quick question here. i know you're an army guy and not a navy guy. nonetheless, 2300 nautical miles they have sailed together. that seems extensive. to you, does it? >> oh, yeah, there's no doubt about -- listen, china is

dominating maritime force in the pacific. and we've talked about it many times. everybody has cited the number of ships. but it's more than that. it's air power domination and missile domination as well. the one advantage we have is under the sea with our submarines. but that -- we don't need to go platform to platform with them, bill, we proved that when the soviet union outnumbered us during the cold war as well. but we have to have the capabilities there to demonstrate to the chinese military leadership and to president xi that the cost of a conflict over taiwan would be too great for them. that's what we have to get. we're not getting there yet. we don't have the defense budgets in terms of the percentage of g.d.p. that demonstrates that and we have to increase our forward deployment of forces as well. we've got a lot of work to do here to catch up to having an effective military deterrence. >> bill: thank you. nice to see you. talk later in the week.

there was a response, four destroyers on behalf of the u.s. responded and a p8 aircraft which more than what we saw last fall. thank you. talk again later this week. dana, sweet moment on stage for kobe bryant's daughter. here we go. that's today's hemmer celebrity news now! all right, the late nba star's 6-year-old daughter getting a thrill of a lifetime. t. swifty in l.a., sofi stadium. here's how it went down! nice moment. comes years after bryant appeared on stage with swift at a concert in 2015. did you know that? that was also in l.a. he presented her with a banner for having the most soldout shows at the staples center which was his stomping grounds with the l.a. lakers. cool moment. nice to see that. l.a. sofi stadium. >> dana: very sweet moment. >> bill: to see taylor swift, i mean, it is the biggest concert

keeping new yorkers safe. this is about from two weeks ago when they rolled this out. nypd spending big money on top of the line tactical drones like what you're looking at. those drones have thermal imaging and night vision technology that allows them to zoom in and closely look at those areas before the first responders show up. so the drone company c.e.o.'s told "the new york post" that these next generation devices have been used in ukraine and even in turkey to help find survivors of that massive earthquake. but not everyone is on board with these plans. the new york civil liberties union sending out this warning. drones pose serious risks to new yorkers' privacy. despite this, police departments rarely disclose how they're used and what kind of information they're collecting. >> there's been a lot of buzz. let me be clear. drones are proven technology and they're being used every day and the city of new york cannot lead from the rear. we must lead from the front.

>> how much money are we talking about here? according to "the new york post," the nypd dished out nearly $90,000 for less 10 tactical drones and more than $200,000 for additional drones and accessories here. right now, there are 530 active drone registrations by 85 different new york government entities across the state. a lot of people are using them. according to the nyclu report, dana, more departments show interest in using it technology, a new bipartisan bill could limit the use of foreign produced drones in the united states. it's something we'll keep a close eye on, dana. >> dana: we must indeed. alexis is in new york. >> bill: she is. >> dana: got it right.

where there's some outside agitators. you don't come to get free gameboys and bring smoke bombs and bring m-80's and bring other disruptive items. we believe there was some outside influences that may have attempted to aggravate this situation. >> bill: want to bring in shawn duffy, co-host of "bottom line" on fox business and host of the big money show on fox business. hello. can i play one more clip from the mayor? i think this is as relevant as anything that's been said about this. watch. >> our children cannot be raised by social media. our children cannot get their values, their beliefs from social media and other outside entities. our children are being inundated by influencers, by those who consider themselves to be credible messengers. >> bill: point is they were going to give away free playstations, couple of hundred people showed up and turned into several thousand people like

that because of the connection on social media. >> the point here is well made. you can't raise kids on social media. but then the other point is parents actually have to raise their kids and raise kids that even if you go to a place where there are m-80's and agitators, your child was raised so well they don't get on top of cars and damage cars or take them with a hammer and smash windows. that's a problem. also, bill, you don't have a new york city prosecutors who are willing to prosecute young kids and i think you save kids' lives if they do bad things and you accepted them away for a little while. they can get their life on track. no one is ever prosecuted! they do bad things and get away with crime. crime ends up paying. and then here, you have law enforcement that's back on their heels. law enforcement should have been engaged disrupting thisment they don't have a community that supports them. so they almost are afraid of this violent situation themselves. >> dana: also for the police, taylor, like i've never heard of this influencer. clearly, all of these kids have.

and i think the police are doing their best. they're checking the social media accounts of all the known terrorists that we have. there's not a terrorist situation but in order to prevent a riot or scene like this, do police officers need to be on line? knowing like what is possibly going to happen? and what about the next influencer who wants to show that they can do it, too? >> and none of these events are sort of sanctioned in a way. there's no sort of permitting so that the police could even know about it. i think you're right. we're sort of in this peak celebrity influencer culture where you put one thing out on social media and you now have thousands of people showing up. so i feel bad for the police, like you said, where they're caught off guard in this age of social media and it's hard to catch that. >> bill: so he's facing a lot of charges. two counts of inciting a riot. serious stuff. see how that goes in court. meanwhile, kamala harris was out over the weekend and she had a message for communities, ok.

keyword here is communities. watch. >> so for years, we have worked to expand investment in community banks because you see, community banks specialize in providing loans and financial assistance to small business owners. in particular, those in overlooked and underserved communities including rural communities. and as the name suggests, community banks are in the community. >> bill: in case you didn't know. >> bill, i'm a big fan of community banks and i'm a small town guy. >> bill: i know you are. >> i am. but she -- whenever she speaks, she sounds stupid. right? she speaks down to people like no one knows what a community bank is. almost every -- >> it's in the title! >> it's in the title. and most people deal with them whether they get a car loan or home loan. she does herself a disservice whenever she speaks. it's not the teleprompter's problem and not the writer's problem. it's a kamala harris problem.

>> dana: i wonder who she thinks the audience is. >> good question. i would also be careful if i were her because she's also overseen one of the largest community bank failures that we all saw in march, two or three of them, silicon valley bank that almost then took down the rest of the financial system in a sense. one of the largest declines of these community banks that we've seen since 2008 or even the great depression. i think what she's trying to say is community banks are the lifeblood of those communities. and you need them because they have relationships with the small business owners and they're acutely aware of the risk of the communities in the way that j.p. morgan in new york city doesn't know. you have to say that. be careful when you've overseen the collapse of those banks as well. >> bill: there's a number of words that you can use when you say it. some of that wasn't in the prompter. we have to determine which ones. >> dana: thank you both. great to see you. well, elon musk and mark zuckerberg talking trash ahead of their cage match.

>> bill: cincinnati but evansville, indiana, august 5th, 11961. and this was cincinnati, ohio, 2023 on the day married 62 years. went home over the weekend to celebrate a moment in time. well done. >> dana: congratulations, great being with you and the "the faulkner focus" is up next with julie banderas and for harris. >> thank you, guys we begin with a fox news alert president biden in washington after beach vacation. while he was out of the office hunter biden's business partner had plenty to say to lawmakers. he has raised a marriott of questions how deeply the president was involved with the business dealings. this is "the faulkner focus," julie banderas and for harris. it is monday, right? okay, describing in great deal what he calls the biden rant, that is a quote. he talked abou
